To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, WAL'rER'F. RING, a

I citizen of theUnited'States, and resident of ends to press the tical efiect are represented in the accompanye the borough of Queens in. the city and Stateof New York, have inventedia new and usefut-Methodof FormingAnvils, of which the following. is a. specification.

My invention relates to the method of making anvils, -w-'ith the object in view of forming an anvil in an expeditious manner and consists broadlyin subjecting a blank held .in a die..to ressure u on its opposite b lank into s apewith its top and bottom of; greater cross section than-the narrowest part of the die chamber.

Means for carrying my method i to pracing drawings, in which Figure 1 1s a-v1ewof the-inside face of one-;-' half of the die in elevation showing the blankv therein an'd the plunger headsin osition to. a proach each other to press the. lankinto s ape, Fig-r 2 is a similar view" showing the.

plungers. inthei-r advanced position and the anvil formed, Fig, 3.1 is a transverse section 1 through the die in the plane of the line A -A of Fig. 1, the blank belngremoved, Fig. 4 is a top (plan view of the die with the blank remove the die.

The blank is denoted-by and Fig. is a bottom-plan viewoi 1. Q It is of a gen-- I eral T-shape and its lower or stem portionis intended to be about the width of the space between'the, sidewalls of the die and extends 'downwardlyzbelow the point which the bottomof'theformed anvil is to occupy to supthe me'tal forsforming the base of the anwhile the top portion of the blank is comintended to be firmly held together by suit posed of a mass of metal suflicient to fill the die between the advanced positions of the plungers. p

The die is formed intwo sections, denoted, respectively, by.2 and'3, which sections are able means, such, for instance, as bolts4 leaving between them a space of such size and shape as may be required to form the anvil. 1 v

The to plunger i s. denoted by 5 and'the bottomp ungerb 6. Thetop plunger is intended to fit wit a close sliding fit the'up per. portion of the diechamber and ispro- 1 single operation 6 to move simultaneously toward each other blank 1 having been properly heated and v placed in position as shown in Fig. 1, the

plungers 5 and 6 are cdr'used toapproach each other by any well known or approved means not shown herein, and the blank. 1' is thereby pressed into the form of the" anvil 8, 9, 12. The plungers are then withdrawn and the mit the removal of-the com leted anvil. The process'is preferably carried out by a y causing the plu'ngers 5 and to act upon the. blank. During this process, the base oftheblank has been pressed outwardly into a form'wider than the narrowest part of the die chamber and the top has also een further elongated and formed but the half sections of the die are separated to peri completedanvil'is readily removed by separating thehali sections of the die.

What I claimis a The method of forming an anvil in a single 0 eration consisting in seating a T-shaped b ank Within a die chamber shaped to form the walls of; the anvil'and having acontract ed portion intermediate of the top and.bot 1 tom of lesser width and length than the base and head of the completed anvil and simultaneously exerting pressure upon the opposite ends of the seated blank thereby forcing the blank laterally against the walls of the die chamber to. form the top and bottom of the anvil of greater length and width than the most contracted portion of the die chamber.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two witnesses, this 7th day of January 1907.
